Is there a place for love and romance — or, at least, reading, writing and research about the history, lit, science, economics and psychology of it — in your classroom? We have a few ideas. #ValentinesDay https://t.co/26gCo1VrVehttps://t.co/rG4xTJo4zd

Almost every woman I’ve talked to in this business has these stories and more. Women’s work is not offered the same respect & remuneration as men’s. High time to change that. Thanks, @AuthorVillage & @JoKnowles for speaking out. https://t.co/6uZ0Y
This is real. And important. When it comes to conference keynotes, men and women, if paid, should obviously be paid the same. The male bias is real, and I’m down to support however. If that means not keynoting, or working within the budget to make sure al

NJ career academies are offering top-notch education, but only to a select few. Giving thanks that my future wasn’t decided by my seventh grade test scores. https://t.co/bDExq9SSEu via @AsburyParkPress @OglesbyAPP
Some of the region’s best high schools also don’t seem to have enough Hispanic and black students. Why? I took an in-depth look into these schools as well as their enrollment numbers. https://t.co/m1jxWITqjs #NJed #edchat #NJnews

Wonderful opportunity here to collaborate with authors and teachers in one day of learning. LOVE how a large number of the authors have books focused on Middle School student interests!!!! #nErDCampNJ-May 18, 2019 @ Chatham High School-#ByramPride

This is going to be awesome!!! Folks in the area—hope to see you there!!!

What happened today to @JussieSmollett must never be tolerated in this country. We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie. ht

Good news! We’ve partnered with @CBWHaverford to offer SHOUT swag for those who preorder the book! All preorders generate donations to @RAINN, but there is a sweet tote bag if you preorder from @CBWHaverford!

If your school culture mirrors this behavior, I’d like to do a school visit and talk about how and why this kind of entitled language, attitude, and behavior of white folks like us is so damaging, harmful, and ignorant. All of us who enable or remain sile

My inner Midwesterner doesn’t like doing this, but if you have read #WhyTheyCantWrite and sometimes do reviews on Amazon, and have the time, it is a boost to the book. Even when people don’t buy through Amazon, they use the info there to make decisions. h

Talk about feeling understood. If u are a Jewish kidlit writer. . . if u have had THIS done to you as I have . . . if you were at our Jewish Women of Kidlit panel at #nErDcampMI a few summers ago. . . please read this: https://t.co/S9z5UsDtyy Please share
If you, like I have, have begged to be thought of/included in diversity discussions to anger, to silence, to the hurling of reasons why I shouldn’t be, as I have, please read this, and share it: https://t.co/S9z5UsDtyy

As a teen, I went to the @dramabookshop on 47th. Spent hours reading plays. Felt made for me, a place to go.
In 2002, I met with Tommy Kail in the Drama Book Shop. It gave us a place to go.
Proud to be part of this next chapter.
A place for you to go.

The 2nd half was hard to watch. All that racism and bigotry–and his absurd excuses, like being a product of the Eisenhower Era, and Thomas Jefferson is judged by his time. What? You’re here now, dude–you can rethink any time. Jefferson is not. The LOGIC

Excellent piece by @hhschiaravalli. Key point: When we frame literary study under the frame of “universal” themes, do we question that? Universal for whom? Or do we end up with “a hierarchy that normalizes & privileges whiteness”? https://t.co/uNeC5Dz

I hope you can carve out 35 minutes this weekend to listen to this podcast of wisdom about workshop teaching, about writing, and about leading. There’s something for everyone here. ⁦@HeinemannPub⁩ ⁦@HeinemannPD⁩ ⁦@BWhitmarsh⁩ https://t.co/VBqUTfOTiO

TEACHERS!!! In keeping w WNDB’s mission to get more books with marginalized characters into the hands of young readers, WNDB is giving away classroom sets of the diverse titles to schools and libraries in need!

Another damaging (and woefully incomplete) piece on reading by @npr_ed @NPR. Please please PLEASE engage in more thorough reporting on subjects like this, @ehanford. You are doing teachers, schools, and the community at large a huge disservice. https://t.

I’m asked this a lot. The answer is this: I’m running a lifelong PR campaign for the planet and everything on it. I want kids to get excited about the world, and confident in their ability to preserve what i
